Sports For The Geek

Gregg Easterbrook is not your normal sports commentator. It is true that he spends an inordinate amout of time watching and analyzing professional football, but his real expertise is political and social science commentary. He's a senior editor for The New Republic and is a fellow at the Brookings Institution. But, if you're interested in mixing politics, social commentary, and sports together, Tuesday Morning Quarterback is the place to get your fix.

It will take you way too long to read, but seriously, if you are even mildly interested in sports and consider yourself a geek, or are full enough of yourself to prefer the term intellectual, you'll love Easterbrook's columns every Tuesday afternoon. He provides unique takes on issues both NFL and in American culture.
